*AWFUL EXPERIENCE - TERRIBLE customer service, BADLY Disorganized and RUDE -
we called 1wk ahead & spoke to Chris (owner) & booked online as he asked
(confusing but we sorted it out) + sent an email to confirm.
We told him we were driving 3h each way + taking time off work & thus wanted

Less than 24 hours to our scheduled tour we were emailed by A Paddle In The Park indicating that our tour for 8am on Saturday would have to be reschedule to due to another commitment. This cancellation was not weather related or an issue with not enough people for the tour. We were told (via email) they would work hard...

We had a wonderful trip with A Paddle in the Park Kayaking today. We showed up to the marina and found dock A with no problem. After some introduction we got in the kayaks for our guided tour. Kai, our guide, was very knowledgable and was very helpful. The trip was more than we expected and I would recommend this...

We had bought an "Island Daily Deal", and expected a good experience, however:
1) Business was hard to find. We basically stumbled upon it because we saw some kayaks (eventually)
2) Nobody was around. There was no office. Someone showed up a couple minutes late.
3) The lady that showed up had no idea how many kayaks we were taking...

Booked a two hour paddle with the company for myself and three friends as a gift. The day was amazing for February with essentially no wind and clear skies. The guide was really friendly as we paddled and set up the kayaks for us as we were all fairly new to kayaking. She started off the tour giving a brief...

My daughter and I came to Sidney to unwind , so we planned events that would help us do just that. We were very happy with our experience. Our guide Melissa was a great conversationalist, and we enjoyed sharing stories with her while paddling around the beautiful calm sea. Thanks for a great afternoon!

It saddens me to write negatively about a small and local kayak rental company; but the experience we had with renting a guided tour was so bad it needs to be put on record. We purchased the ‘4-hour guided kayak tour' offered through Groupon. The booking was confirmed by Paddle in the Park Kayaking via their online booking agent, SetMore...

We received a confirmation from A Paddle in the Park Kayaking the day prior to our tour confirming 10 AM in the morning. There was nobody there when we arrived!! When we phoned they said sorry, someone will be there at 1 PM instead! We were not available to start a tour at 1 PM.
We specifically came to Victoria...

We had an excellent experience paddling out of Van Isle Marina, around Ferny Island, and having Lunch on Goudge Island. Our guide, Marcus, was entertaining and enlightening - a good friend. There were several intimate encounters with the seals sunning themselves on the rocks. We saw mute geese, fried-egg jellyfish, kelp, cormorants, a bald eagle, and crabs. 'A Paddle in...
